I haven't had cable in 2 years and don't miss it. Between network sites & Netflix, I get my fix.

If I didn't get a discount, I wouldn't bother. Tv programming is shit anyway.

there is really nothing on tv right now..
family guy... that's all.south park/ seinfeld re runs..
everything else is absolute crap.
how could you miss that?
- Stand up on comedy central is good sometimesMeeklo
- your opinion. but you are right about how there isn't a lot of (new) TV during the summer anyway.Jaline
- Family Guy is crap. Seriously the wrost show.fredddddd
- I agree. Family Guy is such shit. Somebody will imitate WIlliam Shatner for 10 minutes at a time. Doesn't work and I'm a lifelong Trekkie.CyBrainX

the only thing i miss about tv is live sports and flicking. live sports are still online even though the quality sucks but you still cant sit back with the remote and veg. only with tv can you do that.

True, I don't watch a whole lot.
Right now though, I'd miss baseball. I'd have to go back to just listening to the radio.

did you know there is a show about "pseudo" famous people trying to do circus acts? that and a re-make of american gladiators..
there are 40 or so shows about singing/ talent contests.
they all have the same format..

planet01: hulu + vin scully = win win

My family occupies most of the (best) TVs every day, so I started using my laptop to watch most of my entertainment. Of course, watching something on a big screen or in high definition is fun too. Balance it out, take breaks, blah blah. I download everything though. It's more convenient (except for downloading times) compared to watching / streaming for free from a network's site.
- what sites allow you download?planet01
- torrent sites, like http://mininova.org ; http://scrapetorrent… , etc.Jaline

thank you! hulu! awesome!
I hate cable I dont have it
hulu is amazing!
at least the first first 10 mins I had spent with it.

Other than HBO and SHO series there are a handful of shows I do like but I'm really sick of commercials anyway. If I do keep it I've have to get Tivo or something.

What about Canada? We can't view hulu.com
- co20
I am about make this jump myself. Can you view hulu on a xbox 360?
- cbass990
I'm making the jump soon. Thinking 200$/month on cable is just the stupidest thing ever. If I get Netflix+Hulu+Roku2+HBO, I'll save a ton of money and still get all of that..
Anyone have new ways of viewing shows/movies or better setups?
